Chapter 12: Gilmore Girls Tradition
The Gilmore Girls tradition was to walk through Star's Hollow-at midnight. And tonight that was what they were doing. Well, Lorelai was walking and Rory was more or less hobbling on her crutches. They drank coffee and ate doughnuts, silently. A first for them, normally this annual walk was filled with incessant chatter and vivacious laughter. Their relationship has been patched up but it was still on a weird stage ever since because Lorelai knew in her heart that Rory wouldn't tell her everything about Tristan and her relationship-and it hurt. "Mom?" Rory asked softly making Lorelai look at her. "Yeah?"
"I love him you know," she confessed. "I know and your growing up, it's scary,"
"I know,"
"But you have to know something. This whole boy thing is new for us and I want you to know you can tell me things,"
"He was my first kiss," Rory said with a smile. "Details!" Lorelai cried out as they sat down on the porch steps. "We were at that Chilton party you forced me to go to and the song 'A Moment Like This' came on,"
"Good song," commented Lorelai. "I know! So, I asked him to dance and then he said he didn't know how," "So he's not Sleeping Beauty's prince charming," Lorelai mused. Rory continued her story with Lorelai adding comments every once and a while. "He's really special to you, huh?" Lorelai asked Rory seriously. "Yes, he really is," Rory, replied dreamily. "We're never going to fight about guys again," Lorelai promised Rory and she agreed while they pinky swore with a laugh. "But Mom?" Rory said suddenly. "Yeah kiddo?" she replied glancing at her daughter. "I love him," "I know you do, babe," she murmured. "I heard something from Miss Patty about you," Rory said with a devilish grin. "Which was.?" "A kiss," "A kiss with who?" Rory knew very well that Lorelai was teasing so she played along with her. "With Kirk!" Rory exclaimed and then a snowball hit her in the shoulder. "Mommy and Kirk sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" she teased and then a full-fledged snowball fight-Gilmore Girls style took place right then and there. It was about 1:30 AM when they were done. Both Gilmore's were soaked, red nosed and grinning from ear-to-ear. "Do you love him?" Rory asked suddenly after a moment of catching their breath. "Who?" Lorelai asked caught off guard for a moment. "Luke," "Yes, I really do, Rory," "Good," "Rory?" "Yeah?" came her sleepy reply. "I love you, sweetie,"
"Love you too Mom," the crap shack soon became quiet as the two females slept and everything was perfect, absolutely perfect. "RORY!" called out Lorelai for the third time that morning. "What!" Rory yelled back as she drank some coffee. "Come on! We have to go win Stars Hollow's Snow Person Building Contest!" "You're going to have to do all the work though," Rory pointed out to her mother. "You didn't add in my wonderful persuasive speaking skills," Lorelai said with a smirk. "You didn't!" "Luke and Tristan are helping me," she responded with a grin. DING-DONG. "Tristan's coming?" screeched Rory. "Rory, shush, he's the one at the door," "I'm a mess!" she complained. "You're beautiful spawn of mine!" "Mom!" groaned Rory in disgust. "Get the door!" "I'm going!" and she opened the door. Tristan was leaning against the doorframe while she leaned on her crutches. "You don't look like a mess to me," he whispered lowly making her grin self-consciously. "Come here, you," he said with a huge smile picking her up and twirling her around. She shrieked and Lorelai bounded down the stairs. "Okay snow builder man number one is here and flirting with my daughter, so please stop," Tristan and Rory laughed. "Did you bring the crutches?" Lorelai whispered to Tristan, as if Rory couldn't hear them. "Crutches?" she asked in confusion. "It was all Lorelai's idea!" Tristan said innocently. "All her idea to do what?" "Our snow person is going to be you!" squealed Lorelai. "Oh dear," Rory said trying to hide behind Tristan. "I resent that, Gilmore!" "Why am I the snow person?" "Because we're making 'Rory Gilmore a la Britney Spears avec crutches'," Lorelai explained with the awe evident in her voice at her genius idea. "You taught her French!" Rory accused. "Only three words," he replied with a sympathetic smile. "So.is someone going to be caring Rory all day?" Lorelai asked Tristan pointedly. "No need," "What do you mean?" Rory asked. "I mean is take a look outside," Rory along with Lorelai went out to the porch to see a golf cart labeled: The Gilmore Girl's Limo. "Oh my god!" squealed Rory and Lorelai started to jump up and down in excitement. He grinned a real smile at the giddiness over the golf cart and the activities of the day. Lorelai started bouncing in her seat yelling, "Go faster!" Rory giggled uncontrollably at the look on Taylor's face when they whizzed past him. They pulled to a stop in front of their snow person spot, in reality it was where Luke was standing staring at the spectacle Tristan and the girls were making. Lorelai was beside herself over Taylor's reaction, Rory was still laughing, nearly crying while Tristan rolled his eyes. "You know you love me," Lorelai told Luke as she hopped out of the golf cart. "That I do," came his reply after they kissed. "Eww.Mom!" Rory protested. "Hey! I've seen you and Tristan kiss," she called back making Rory blush and shut her mouth. The rest of the day was filled with snow-person building, bantering, teasing, sexual innuendos, kissing and drinking coffee. Taylor finally announced the winner of the contest, which was hands-down 'Rory Gilmore a la Britney Spears avec crutches'. The four finished the day with coffee and pie courtesy of Luke. "Tonight's going to be a movie night," Lorelai told Luke. "The Cutting Edge and Might ducks trilogy," Rory piped up. "Hockey, Figure Skating and Love," the two said in unison. "You coming?" Rory asked Tristan. "Wouldn't miss it for the world," he replied. "Wait a second, tomorrow's Monday," interrupted Luke. "To satisfy Lucas we'll watch The Cutting Edge satisfying two of our three criteria. "It has a little hockey, Lorelai," Tristan told her. "That's right!" she exclaimed with glee. Rory and Tristan walked back to 'the crap shack'; actually Tristan had opted to carry her, so he was the only one walking. "This is romantic," she said with a grin. "For you, sure.for me, no way!" "What happened to the golf cart, anyways?" Rory asked. "I think Taylor stole it," he told her making her laugh. "You know he was trying to call a town meeting to outlaw them all day," "I figured," he replied coming up the porch stairs. "Where are your crutches?" he asked concerned. "Luke's got them," she explained as he put her down on the couch. "Love you," he told her planting a kiss on the corner of her mouth letting it linger. "Love you too," she replied smiling up at him for a moment. "We're here!" called out Lorelai barging into the house while dropping all the candy on the already cluttered coffee table. Lorelai popped the tape in and settled down on the floor beside Luke letting the two teens sit on the couch. Halfway through the movie Rory mumbled that she wanted to go to sleep. "Lorelai, I'm just going to put Rory to bed," he whispered. "Okay," she replied and he carried Rory to her room. "Night," he said softly as he flicked off the light. "Wait," she protested. "Yeah?" he replied pausing at the door. "Read to me?" she pleaded. "Okay.how about A Walk to Remember?" he suggested glancing at the titles on her shelf. She nodded and so he began to read. Five or so minutes later he noticed she was asleep and soon after he too had nodded off to sleep. Before Luke had to leave they checked Rory's bedroom. Lorelai was satisfied when she found Tristan sleeping, his head at Rory's feet and his feet at Rory's head. "You okay?" Luke asked Lorelai wrapping his arm around her. "Everything's perfect-the way things are supposed to be," Lorelai replied kissing him softly. "See you in the morning?" "Of course," she replied walking him to the door. "It's Danish Day!" she called out with a laugh. "I love you Lorelai!" he called back. "Love you too, Luke!" she called out, again and then Luke was gone. Taking one more look in Rory's room Lorelai realized that after sixteen years of hard work she had ended up somewhere good; somewhere both mother and daughter were in love and happy.
